Be You!

Discover a beautiful new collection of original artworks by Australian artist Maree McCrum, created for the Brisbane Affordable Art Fair. Rich in texture, colour, and feeling, this collection captures Maree’s distinctive way of translating landscape, memory, and place into expressive contemporary paintings.

Known for her layered mixed media approach, Maree creates works that feel both grounded and atmospheric. Her paintings often draw on the colours and rhythms of the Australian landscape, from waterways and coastline to inland scenes and places that linger in memory. Rather than simply recording a view, Maree builds each artwork through texture, gesture, and colour, allowing the scene to emerge with softness, movement, and emotional depth.

This new collection feels immersive and deeply personal. There is a lovely balance between abstraction and recognition, where land, sky, water, and horizon shift into one another through layered surfaces and intuitive mark-making. Maree’s use of colour is especially compelling. Earthy tones, sea blues, warm neutrals, and luminous highlights come together to create works that feel calm, expansive, and full of atmosphere.

What makes this collection so appealing is its sense of quiet connection. These are paintings that invite pause. They hold the essence of a place rather than every detail, giving the viewer space to bring their own memory and feeling to the work. Maree’s art has a softness to it, but also strength, making each piece feel thoughtful, contemporary, and highly liveable.

Perfect for collectors seeking original Australian art, mixed media landscape paintings, textured contemporary artworks, and coastal or nature-inspired statement pieces, Maree McCrum’s new collection offers a refined and expressive take on the Australian landscape. These works sit beautifully in modern interiors while still carrying warmth, story, and a strong sense of place.

Created for the Brisbane Affordable Art Fair, this collection showcases Maree’s ability to create artworks that are both visually striking and emotionally resonant. It is a collection full of mood, movement, and gentle beauty.
